But I expected that. At the same time you have a level where you want to play at and I expect myself to step in and just play well. It’s just a process over these next couple of weeks that hopefully I can keep building on.” And the bottom line was that as a veteran who loves football, loves to compete and wants to prove what he can do in New England, Dwight was just happy to be doing what the rest of the team was doing for the first time this summer. “It was fun to be back out there.
